The Role of Emoji Feedback on Students' Assessment and Learning Outcomes

Summary/Abstract: Background/purpose. This study investigates the impact of emoji feedback on students' assessments and learning outcomes. Aims include emotions in feedback systems to assess the effects of feedback, learning outcomes, and general performance, among other educational outcomes. Materials/methods. This study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining a systematic literature review with Python and a conceptual framework design. This study is aligned with constructivist learning theory, cognitive load theory, and dual coding theory. Using a random sampling approach, the researchers collected data from 380 respondents at global universities. The author designed selfadministered surveys using Google Forms, which were distributed via WhatsApp, social media, and email to collect data. PLS-SEM was used to investigate the validity and reliability of the data. Results. This study revealed that expressive emoji feedback can make comments more interesting, emotionally meaningful, and understandable. This study presents a new feedback method that aligns with current digital communication trends to create a more stimulating, motivating, and productive learning environment, thereby advancing educational technology. The findings will provide legislators and educators with fresh information to adopt innovative feedback strategies that improve their pupils' learning experiences and outcomes. Conclusion. Emojis were used for instructive feedback in this study. The academic use of emojis is understudied despite their prevalence in informal communication. This supports integrating nonverbal cues into feedback mechanisms to improve students' emotional and cognitive processing.
